Devils, Death Gods, and Hollows Oh My!

Chapter 2
Rias Gremory, Heiress of the great Gremory Clan, one of the only remaining clans of the original seventy two pillars, was currently sitting at her desk nursing a headache as she stared at the report in front of her trying to make sense of the situation she currently found herself in.
"Is there something wrong Buchou," asked her queen, drawing her attention away from the report as she set a cup of tea in front of her.
Rias leaned back in her chair and stared up at the ceiling thoughtfully before answering.
"It's that creature we encountered when we went to exterminate the stray," said Rias with an exasperated sigh, "I sent in my report regarding the mission and this is what was sent back."
"Oh? What does it say?"
"That creature wasn't the only one of its kind it seems."
"There are more?"
"Yes it would appear so. These creatures have been attacking devils, angels, fallen angels and humans that hold either a sacred gear or the ability to perform magic," Rias explained.
"It did appear difficult to kill didn't it? Even though it had weakened you your power of destruction should have done more damage than that."
"True, though they aren't impossible to kill according to this report. Though their resilience to our powers is indeed troubling it isn't the most worrying thing about them."
"And what would that be Buchou," inquired Akeno curiously.
"Whatever they kill, human or otherwise, cannot be resurrected through the evil piece system. It's as if they kill the victim's very essence along with the body."
"That is rather troubling and at the same time curious."
"Hmm," Rias turned to Akeno with a questioning gaze, "What do you mean Akeno?"
"That creature referred to Viser as its last meal and yet besides the damage that had caused her death there weren't any signs that it had started to eat her."
"You're right. So if they don't devour flesh then…" Rias cupped her chin as she stared pensively into her cup of tea.
"Is something the matter Buchou?"
"No, I'm just trying to make sense of it all."
"Haven't they been able to capture or at the very least examine one of the bodies?"
Rias shook her head, "No, and that happens to be another issue. Whenever they manage to kill one of the creatures, even when being careful not to use the more destructive abilities, the creatures simply disintegrate into dust. And when one is about to captured it retreats by opening some sort of gateway into another realm."
Akeno sighed before speaking, "These creatures are becoming more mysterious every day."
"Indeed they are," said Rias as she picked up her tea and began to sip on it, savoring every drop. "What of our little pawn? What has he decided to do?"
"He decided to lead an attack on the church just as you predicted," answered her queen, "and of course Kiba and Koneko are accompanying him just as you instructed."
"Very good," replied the crimson-haired heiress as she continued to drink her tea draining the cup of its contents. Standing to her feat she addressed her queen, "Well then, shall we be on our way Akeno?"
"Of course Buchou."
The Red light from the transportation circle filled the room as the two beautiful young women vanished from the room.
"What the hell Kisuke," shouted Ichigo in rage as he rounded on the eccentric scientist. "You didn't even give me time to say goodbye to my friends or at the very least tell my Dad that I would be heading out on one of your insane missions slash experiments."
"Meh," dismissed the former Shinigami Captain with a wave, "there's no need to worry about that Ichigo, your father already knows."
"What about my friends. They tend to investigate my mysterious disappearances from time to time."
"Once again I am way ahead of you Ichigo. I took the liberty of mailing each of them a letter explaining that I was simply borrowing you for an indeterminate amount of time. I made sure leave out the specifics so that they wouldn't be enticed to try and follow us, and by chance they try to investigate there is no possible way for them to ever find you."
"That sounded pretty creepy right there you know," said Ichigo with an exasperated look on his face.
"I have no clue what you mean Ichigo."
"Whatever, how did you get us over here anyway."
The scientist was more than happy to explain.
"Well that is relatively simple really, there was something that prevented us from traversing the gap between our world and the other one directly, due to severity of the current situation I did not take the time to find out exactly what so I had to utilize an artificial Garganta to freely pass through a sort of Dangai linking the two worlds in order to transport my shop and everyone in it to our new location."
Ichigo blinked several times before asking, "Won't it look just a little odd when a random shop appears in an empty lot?"
Kisuke simply waved him off. "No worries Ichigo. I already took care of that when I was here scouting out a prime location for our base of operations. All it took was a little memory altercation," said Kisuke with a grin as he held up a small device known to shinigami as a kikanshinki.
"You replaced their memories," deadpanned Ichigo, "What the hell! You can't just go around messing with people's minds like that!"
Yoruichi stepped infront of the enraged teen, "Ichigo," she said grabbing his attention, "If you don't calm down I am going to take off my shirt."
"Wh-what!?"
To further emphasize her point she grabbed the hem of her shirt and started to lift up."
"I'm calm, I'm calm just leave your damn shirt on," shouted Ichigo his face turning an unnatural hue of red.
"Thank you Yoruichi," said Urahara with a grin, "Now then Ichigo, now that our explanations are out of the way, how has your mastery of your hollow and quincy powers been progressing?"
"That," said Ichigo as the blush started to fade from his face. "Well a since my hollow powers are the basis for my shinigami powers I can access the hollow powers just fine but I haven't been having much luck with the quincy powers so far. They tend to just activate of their own accord, at least the vein blut does anyway…"
"I see," said Kisuke as he turned to a corner where a small chest was located and started to rummage through its contents while still speaking to Ichigo. "That is somewhat disappointing but not unexpected, after all you are more acclimated to your shinigami and hollow powers. Now where did I put that… Ah here we go. Catch Ichigo," said the scientist tossing the substitute what appeared to be a hooded cloak.
Catching said cloak Ichigo noticed that there was something tucked inside it. Pulling the object free Ichigo found himself looking at an exact replica of his hollow mask.
"Kisuke what is this for?"
"As I stated before the school you will be attending is a hotspot for these beings that we know nothing about. It would be advantageous to keep your identity a secret while you patrol the streets. As for the hollow mask, it will bring about certain attributes of the hollowfication you used to undergo, such as the change in eye color as well as the warped voice patterns. Also since we need to stay discreet and your power could attract unwanted attention you and everyone over here will be subjected to a power limit reducing your power down to twenty percent.
"That makes sense I guess," said Ichigo as he continued to gaze at the mask. His thoughts were interrupted however by the sound of a loud alarm going off.
"It seems we have some activity going on."
Kisuke reached into his robes and pulled out a small remote and clicked a button. As he did this a piece of the wall started to slide away revealing a large monitor with a map of the city they were currently in displayed on the screen. A small collection of blips seemed to be gathered at a specific location.
"You were way more prepared for this than you let on," Ichigo stated, slightly annoyed.
"Well you know you can never be too prepared," said the scientist with a grin, "Ah it seems that there is a gathering of these beings I mentioned earlier. Two different groups to be exact, if these readings are correct. They're at the church. Ichigo could you go and observe them for me? The mask is outfitted with a small sensor to monitor and collect data so all you have to do is sit there and watch"
"Yeah sure, whatever. If it gets me away from your psychotic ass I'd do just about anything," said the orange haired teen as he grabbed his substitute badge, pressing it to his chest thus separating his shinigami form from his body which fell to the floor.
Grabbing the cloak and mask Ichigo bolted out of the room and out the door.
"My, he certainly was in a hurry," stated Kisuke as he watched the door of his shop swing itself closed, "He didn't even bother to say goodbye."
"Umm Kisuke," came the voice of Yoruichi grabbing his attention.
He looked up at her to see her arms crossed over her chest a questioning look on her face.
"Yeah what is it?"
"Did you remember to put the power limiter on him?"
Kisuke blinked owlishly for a few moments before he understood what she was getting at. "Oh dear…"
The three junior members of the peerage entered the dark church. They cautiously stepped further in looking around for any signs of fallen angels or priests.
"This place is creepy," stated Issei after taking a look around.
His musing were interrupted as the sound of clapping reverberated off the walls of the empty church.
"We meet again. So glad you could make it," came the voice of Freed Sellzen as he stepped into the dim light, "I bet I'm a sight for sore eyes huh?"
"Yeah right."
"Look I pride myself on just having to battle any devil just once," said the priest gesturing to himself with his hands, "but here you are just rubbing it in. If there is one thing I won't abide it is being mocked by maggot devils in the house of God. So what do you say," questioned the priest as he reached into his coat pulling out his sword of light and gun, "Lets finish this!"
A demented looked crossed the priest's face, "The thought tearing away your flesh and eating it piece by iece makes my mouth water." He stuck out his tongue and licked the barrel of his gun for further emphasis.
"Just tell me where she is," demanded Issei in no mood to fight the insane priest.
"Oh right," said the priest dismissively as he looked over his shulder to the basement door, "you mean that dirty devil loving whore of a sister. All you have to do is go down to the basement. She's beneath the altar that we are currently standing on downstairs."
"Right."
"But first," said the priest menacingly as he turned his attention back to the devils, "You have to go through me!"
"Sacred gear," Issei cried out as the red armored gauntlet enveloped his left arm. Beside him Kiba readied his blade.
"Here," shouted Koneko as she tossed a bench at Freed only for it to be sliced in two by his sword of light.
"You're pretty strong for a runt aren't you?"
Koneko glared at him before responding in her monotone, "Suck it."
More benches were tossed at him as he dodged them all while Issei and Kiba jumped into action. Leaping into the air Kiba aimed to strike the priest from above. Freed managed to block his first strike firing off his gun at the nimble devil as Kiba dodged all of the bullets.
"Come on," shouted Sellzen as he continued to fire off bullet after bullet, "Is that all you got. Show me something interesting."
Running in close Kiba struck at him once more only to have his blade blocked by the sword of light.
"You're quick," Kiba commented to the priest as their blades pressed against each other.
"You're not so bad yourself," said the insane clergyman as he brought up his gun. "That just makes me want to kill you more!"
Using his acrobatic skills, Kiba leaned back to dodge the bullet as Freed pulled the trigger being forced into a backflip by his own momentum.
"Whoa," Issei said in astonishment watching the fight with wide eyes, "Kiba's like a total badass huh?"
"All right time to get serious."
A black substance enveloped Kiba's blade as he once more rushed the priest. This time when their swords met the black substance on his blade began to eat away at the blade of light.
"What the hell is this," questioned Freed.
"It's called the Holy Eraser," Kiba answered, "It's a blade of darkness that devours light."
"Please, you think I'm afraid of you?"
The two combatants broke away.
"Issei now," Kiba shouted to his ally.
"Right," said the pawn bringing his left arm in front of his chest as a different voice called out "Boost!"
The priest turned himself to face the pawn as he rushed at him.
"Time for a promotion," shouted Issei continuing his charge. "The rook is an unparalleled tank!"
The bullets Freed fired from his gun were essentially useless as they ricocheted off the young devil. A look of hopelessness crossed his face and he couldn't help but mutter a few words, "Yup, I'm fucked."
"Did I mention they kick some serious ass," Shouted Issei rearing his fist back and driving it into the side of the priest's face sending him crashing into the floor.
Issei was left panting after having exerted so much energy, "That was for Asia, for what you did to her. Hey," he said perking up, "That felt pretty good actually."
"You bastard," shouted Freed as he stood back to his feet this jumping at Issei with two blades of light.
However he was sent flying once more via another bench hurled at him by Koneko. "Ouchy!"
Managing to dodge another strike from Kiba The priest leapt atop the altar. "I'll be damned if I let a bunch of devils get the best of me. You've won the battle but not the war Scum! Ha!"
Hurling an object to the floor he was engulfed in a bright light the devils had to shield their eyes from. When the light faded Freed Sellzen was gone.
"Damn, he got away."
"C'mon," said Kiba gaining Issei's attention, "let's keep moving."
"Guys," said Koneko as they both turned to to see her punch away the podium to reveal a set of stairs that lead to the basement.
They rushed down the stairs as fast as they could when they reached to bottom they were greeted by Raynare, "Welcome to the party devils. But I'm afraid you're too late."
In the basement there was a large number of priests all clothed in black robes with their faces concealed and high atop an altar chained to a cross was the nun Asia who simply hung there limply, accepting the fate that she was about to endure.
"Asia!"
The pawns shout was enough to bring the nun back to consciousness as she slowly opened her eyes, "Issei, you came for me."
"Just hold on Asia," shouted Issei as he stepped forward to help her.
"Wait," yelled Kiba as he pulled Issei back just in time to avoid to explosion of a spear of light.
Back atop the alter Raynare mocked their efforts as the cross started to glow an ethereal green, "What a touching reunion. Unfortunately the ritual is over."
Asia let out a pained scream as the ritual ran its course.
"What are you doing to Asia? You let her go right now!"
"That's it," said Kiba as realization dawned on him. "They're after her sacred gear."
"I don't understand. What's going to happen to her?"
"I'm sorry," was Kiba's only reply.
A small green light floated out of her body. As it did the light of life seemed to leave her eyes.
"Hold on. She's dying?"
"Twilight Healing," said Raynare in longing as she reached up to accept the light, "At last it's in my hands."
"Yes," she continued gleefully, "I've been lusting after this power for years. Those miserable hearts are in the palm of my hand," she continued gloating as she pressed the sacred gear to her chest, absorbing the power of twilight healing. "Perfect."
A green light enveloped her as the power coursed through her. "Hahahahaha, I'll be beloved, I'll be the most powerful fallen angel there is. All those pricks who screwed me over are going to regret it!"
"Oh screw you," shouted Issei as he started to fight his way through the hordes of priests only to be saved from a lethal slash as Kiba and Koneko came to his aid fending off the rest of the would be attackers.
"Kiba," said Issei sounding surprised, "and Koneko. Thank you."
He sprinted through the opening his two allies had made for trying to get to the innocent young nun that was his friend.
"Asia," He shouted as he made it to the top of the altar as he gazed upon her unconscious he was filled with dread. "Oh no."
Raynare stood to the side an evil smirk besmirching her lovely features, "You deserve a reward for make it this far."
With a snap of her fingers the chains that bound Asia as her unconscious form fell into Issei's grasp.
"I got you," He said as he held her, "It's me, are you okay?"
Breathing was weak as her body clung to life but only just.
"Issei," She said weakly, "you came."
"Yeah, but we're not out yet so stay with me."
"Kay."
"Go ahead and take the girl," said the fallen angel as she walked around him, "I got what I wanted."
"You crazy bitch," Issei growled angrily, "Give her back her sacred gear right now."
"Soo tough. Sorry but I had to betray my superiors to snag this little gem. And unfortunately for you," she said as a spear of light materialized in her hand, "You're about to become my denouement. The good news is, you get to die together."
"Issei," shouted Kiba in warning, "I'm afraid they have the upper hand!"
"You know," said Issei addressing Raynare, "I can't believe I ever wanted to be with you."
"As if I couldn't tell you were a virgin from the moment I met you. Made my job that much easier. You pansies will believe anything if you think you'll get your pole greased."
"I actually liked you, or… Yuma."
"Sweety," she said in a high pitched voice mimicking her Yuma persona, "That was the point. I needed you to play hero to my damsel in distress. Poor thing, you wanted to believe it so badly you never even caught on. I wish you could see your face. It makes the torture of having to spend so much time with you worth it."
"Why? Why would you even let it go that far? You had to have known it was pointless from the start. Why let me worry so much about that stupid date?"
"Hahahaha! Don't worry. That date was everything a girl like me could want. I was so bored the whole time I couldn't wait to kill you."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Yuma," she kept gloating, even going as far as to strike a pose, "meaning evening days. I found it appropriate since I planned to kill you at sunset. Let's talk inappropriate, first you refuse to die then you replace me with some pious, platinum nun slut. Uh, Issei I'm hurt. I thought we were special. You're making me jealous. I bet you took her on one of your yawnathon dates too. Hehe. But I guess for a prude like her a date with you is a hoot. Oh Issei how do you ever expect to get laid if you keep putting your victims to sleep."
Even the sound of her laughter seemed to be mocking him.
"Shut up Raynare," roared Issei.
A vicious smile grew on Raynare face a she brought her spear back to strike, "I love a man who takes control! Where was this when we were dating? You might've gotten some! Hahaha!"
'I may be a devil,' thought Issei, 'but this bitch is straight up evil.'
As she brought the spear down Issei leapt from the altar with Asia in his arms hitting the ground running.
"Kiba," said Issei as he once more blocked a strike meant for Issei whilst Koneko kicked away another priest, "Koneko."
"We got this," Kiba shouted at him, "just get out of here! Koneko and I will keep them here! Run," He shouted as he and the small rook continued to fight the army of clergymen, "We'll be fine I promise!"
"Come on," said Koneko hitting another holyman, "leave already."
"I can't!"
"Go," Kiba shouted, "You standing there isn't helping anybody."
"Thank you… my friends. I swear when this is over you will never have to bail me out again. I promise you," he shouted with resolve as he ran out the room. "I'm gonna get stronger and fight for myself next time!"
Running up the stairs he carried Asia's prone form out of the basement. As they made it to the ground floor he lay her weak form on the ground. He watched hopelessly as the light of life left her. Tears streamed down Issei's face as the moon's light shown through the window panes onto the half-naked body of his friend Asia. He had come to rescue her, to save her from this fate and yet despite all his efforts and those of his friends still fighting the horde of priests below him he had failed.
"Are you punishing her for making friends with a devil," he shouted to the heavens, "I'm sorry just give her back!"
His cries were interrupted by the snide voice of the fallen angel who had brought about this tradgedy.
"A demon asking for forgiveness in church? What an insidious sense of humour."
Issei rounded angrily on Raynare, Asia's body held tightly against his own. "What are you doing here?!"
Outside the church Rias Gremory and her queen watched as black feathers rained down from the sky, the only remains of the fallen angels after they had enraged Rias by mocking her pawn.
"Oh my," said Akeno off-handedly. "Things certainly escalated quickly."
"They asked for it."
"I guess they did."
"Shall we see how Issei and the others are faring?"
"Of course Buchou."
"Ugh, how tacky," said Raynare gesturing to a small cut on her arm. "Some rabid knight gave it to me on my way up here."
"Where are Kiba and Koneko," questioned Issei but the fallen angel simply ignored him.
"Perfect," she said as green light engulfed her hand as she touched the cut, healing it, "No matter the injuring I can heal it. The perfect gift for those of us who no longer have the benefit of divine protection, wouldn't you say?"
Clasping her hands together as if in prayer, she turned her head to the sky, "And now I no longer have to worry about losing my rank in the underworld. Oh great Azazel and Shemhazai I am prepared and willing to do your works."
"What does that matter? What does that have to do with Asia? She wasn't a threat, she doesn't care about power."
"Unfortunately," said Raynare as she stood from the bench, "For those with a sacred gear this is their destiny."
"That's such bullshit! She never would have used it she just wanted to live in peace!"
"Out the question."
"Why?"
"Humans don't have the ability to live in peace with the sacred gear. Even if they did decide to use the power for good they would be seen as different and tortured out of fear. Have you ever heard anything more absurd? That's just how humans operated. Such an unfortunate waste of power."
"No that wouldn't have happened! I was her friend, I would have protected her! I wouldn't have let anything happen to her!"
"She's dead," Raynare mocked, "Stone cold dead! And you're whining about protecting her? You realize how psychotic you sound? You wouldn't have been able to save her back then anyway and you can't save her now!"
"Will you shut up?! I will never forgive you. I will never forgive myself for this. Why couldn't have been you?! I want her back," he shouted as his sacred gear manifested, "I want Asia back!"
"Dragon Boost!"
"There's nothing you can do. Even if you tripled the power you have."
Not caring what the fallen angel had to say he rushed at her anyway.
She easily dodged his strike by flying into the air. "and you're still trying to test me."
Two light spears manifested in her hands. She hurled them at the new devil and they found their mark as they pierced his thighs.
"Light is toxic," explained Raynare as Issei gripped both of the spears, "It scorches your bodies. It's said to be the worst and intense pain a devil can endure. So what do you think? Is it true?"
"What do I care," he shouted as he ripped the spears out of his legs blood gushing from them as he did, "This is nothing, nothing compared to what Asia went through! I'll put up for anything for her!"
"You know I really am impressed, A lower class devil making it this far. That power really is something to be reckoned with."
Issei then staggered and fell to the floor, "What's… Happening?"
"Not that it's gonna do you any good though. I just wanted to make sure you got your kudos for doing much better than expected of a devil of your class."
Breathing heavily the young pawn stealed his resolve, "What was I thinking? God isn't going to help me. I'm a demon now. I need to call Satan. I'm a devil now too, so what do you say, just this once I need a little help."
"What are you mumbling about over there. Has the pain finally gotten to you?"
"I'm begging you, I won't ask you for anything else after this," begged Issei as he climbed to his feet.
"What's he doing?"
"Let me do this. Let me destroy her ass," he cried out as black demonic wings sprouted from his back.
"How are you able to stand? That light should be burning you from the inside out. Tell me how you're doing that. You don't have the power to temper light. You are nothing!"
"Don't get me wrong," said Issei as he staggered towards her causing her to take a step back, "It doesn't tickle. Even with this strength I can barely stand. But I don't care, I'll fight through it if it means that I can take you down!"
Issei brought his gauntleted fist forward it extended to now cover his finger as a voice yelled out, "explosion!"
"That energy release is at least second level," Raynare said in fright. "His sacred should be nowhere near this strong. It-It's just a double critical."
Forming a light spear she hurled it at him in an effort to harm him only for it to bounce off the gauntlet. As Issei rushed she tried to run only for him to grab her arm, halting her retreat.
"I'm not letting you get away bitch!"
"No, I have the supreme power!"
Rearing back his fist he shouted, "This one's for Asia," before driving his fist into the body of the fallen angel sending her flying through a church window.
"That… Felt good," said a panting Issei as Kiba caught him before he hit the ground.
"Look at you handling that on your own."
"Yeah thanks, what held you up?"
"I was instructed to stay back. Sorry, Rias's orders."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously," said Rias as she made her presence known, "I believed in you. I knew you would defeat her."
"You did?"
"Once my business was finished I arrived in the basement to see Kiba and Koneko having a free for all with a bevy of fallen angels."
"I don't know if we would have gotten out without you."
"Oh man," said Isseis as his legs continued to shake, "I'm sorry I missed it."
The doors of the church swung open as Koneko walked in drgging the defeated form of Raynare behind her. "Did someone order this?"
She threw the fallen at the feat of her King to let Rias address her.
"You must be Raynare. I am Rias Gremory, also known as the next head of the house of Gremory."
"Gremory," said Raynare in shock, "You gotta be kidding."
"It's wonderful to meet you. It's a shame we don't time to chat but sadly," she said as she dropped several black feather in front of Raynare, "It's time for you to join our friends I disposed of earlier. They were rather rude to me."
"So you killed them," questioned Issei.
"Rias's fuse is long," answered Kiba, "But when pushed she lives up to her title as Empress of Annihilation."
"Damn, didn't know I was part of such a hardcore group. Neat."
"Why would the Heir of Gremory dare such a thing?"
"Well after meeting Dohnaseek I found out that a lot of Fallen Angels have plans to attack this town. Normally I would have stayed out of it but they seemed insistent on attacking my team."
"So you were protecting me?"
"Look at you," said Rias as she faced Issei, "I didn't see your sacred gear."
"Yeah it just freaked out and turned red."
"It's called a red dragon, which explains a lot actually. You see this Raynare? You weren't defeated by a dual critical after all, no need to feel too embarrassed."
"What?"
"Issei's sacred gear doubles his power every ten seconds allowing him to surpass God and Satan. It's one of the Thirteen variaties of Longinus. The strongest level of the Red Dragon Emperor is called Boosted Gear."
'So this sacred gear with the power to destroy gods is in the hands of a child,' thought Raynare in disgust.
"The only downside is that it takes a while to start up due to its immense power. The only reason he was able to beat was because you let your guard down. If only you had learned that lesson earlier."
"Issei please," said Raynare as she reverted back to her Yuma act, "I know I said some mean things to you but I had no choice I had to fulfill my role as a fallen angel."
"Yuma."
"I'm still wearing your gift," she said brandishing the wrist with said gift on it, "Please don't tell me you forgot. You bought it for me, don't you remember?"
"No way, why do you still have that thing?"
"How could I possibly get rid of this? It reminds me of you."
"Koneko," said Kiba to the rook, "You ready?"
As they rushed forward to help they were halted by Rias.
"Issei," Raynare continued to beg, "you wouldn't let them hurt me would you?"
"Shut up, I don't buy it," he said turning his back on the fallen one. "Rias please, I can't do this."
"You've toyed with the emotions of my servant for the last time," said Rias as she charged up her power of destruction, "Begone!"
She through the energy right her enemy as she turned her back on the fallen angel as her screams filled the room.
"So," said a warped voice that sounded as if two people were trying to talk at once, one high pitched and sadistic the other low and menacing, "Is this how you treat your enemies once they are defeated and helpless?"
Spinning on her heel Rias turned to face the owner of the voice. He was wearing a black hooded cloak of sorts with a mask not unlike the one she had seen on the creature that had attacked them nights before. The most disturbing thing about it besides the voice were his eyes. The sclera were as black as a void and the iris seemed to glow a dull gold. And behind him at his feet was an unconscious and yet still very much alive and unharmed Raynare.
"Wh-who, no what are you."
"I'm just someone who won't stand for the senseless killing of someone who no longer has the will or ability to fight."
The being then thrust his hand out to the side as Kiba appeared right next to him, sword ready to strike. The beings hand made contact with the blade, crushing it before continuing on to grip Kiba by the head. Kiba gripped the things arm with both hands trying to pry it off his face to no avail. The creature brought his arm back pick up Kiba like a toy before throwing him through a column of benches and through the wall.
"That's it," Came the emotionless voice of Koneko as she rushed the strange being, "play time is over."
"Koneko wait," called Rias to no avail.
The small rook threw her fist forward in a mighty punch only for it to be caught in the hand of the creature. It lifted her up bringing her to his eye level. She glared defiantly into the frightening eyes of the new enemy. Koneko braced herself to thrown through air much as Kiba had or possibly worse. You can imagine her surprise when instead the creature merely tossed her gently to side to land on her rump.
"Huh?"
"Koneko get clear," Commanded Rias as she charged up a large amount of destructive energy, "I'm gonna take it out with one shot!"
"Are you now," said the creature as it suddenly appeared right in front of her.
"Wha," cried Rias in surprise as she released her power point blank into the creatures chest the force of her power being released at such close range sent her skidding back.
Large amounts were kicked up from the ensuing blast obscuring the remains from her vision.
"There," said Rias breathing heavily, "There's no way it could survive that."
"Is that right?"
A hand shot out of the dust and swiped to the side clearing it from the air giving Rias a good look at the creature. She hadn't even managed to damage the cloak. Just what the hell was this thing it was stronger than any rook she had seen and far faster than any knight.
"I'm leaving now," said the creature as it walked back to the unconscious form of the fallen angel to pick her up and throw her over its shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
"I won't let you leave with her," Rias shouted defiantly.
"You really don't have much of a choice."
Suddenly Rias was forced to her knees by some invisible force. The air in her lungs seemed to leave her all at once. Looking around she found her entire peerage all in a similar state. She turned her attention back to the creature.
'Its power… It's overwhelming. It's as if I'm facing off with a super devil.'
The creature pointed his index finger at the wall with his thumb up as if his hand were a gun. Then it started to gather reddish black energy in the form of a small ball at the tip of his finger. When it released the energy the effect was devastating. Nearly that entire side of the church had been disintegrated and a large portion of the surrounding forest had been taken with it.
"Don't make me come back," it warned before disappearing all together.
When it was gone the intense pressure was lifted and Rias and her peerage were able to stand once more.
"Is everyone alright?"
"I'm fine," said Issei.
Koneko merely nodded.
"What about you Kiba?"
"I'm good," said the Knight as he stepped through the hole his impact had made, "Just a little banged up is all."
"Buchou," said Issei addressing his king, "What was that thing?"
"I don't know Issei. But it was toying with us."
Koneko nodded in affirmation, "Powerful."
"Come on," said Rias bringing the conversation to an end. "It's best if we not worry about it now. Issei grab Asia. I will resurrect her at the club house."
"Hai Buchou."
A few moments later they all walked out of the church, with Issei carrying the young nun bridal style, and were greeted with a very odd sight.
Sitting on the ground with her knees pushed together tightly and trembling was Akeno.
"Wow," said Issei in shock, "I didn't think its power reached all the way out here. Poor Akeno, she looks terrified. I didn't think she frightened so easily."
"Trust me Issei," said Rias, "She isn't afraid,"
"What are you talking about? She's trembling and sitting in a puddle. I think she wet herself in fright."
"Oh she wet herself alright," said Koneko in her monotone, "But not the way you're thinking."
"What do you… Oh God you mean she?"
"Come on everyone," said Rias, "It is best not to disturb her. Let's leave her to ride out her orgasm. She'll just have to meet us back at the club room."
After they all left Akeno was still sitting there trembling with a heavy blush on her face, "S-so p-powerful. I bet that thing can take a lot of damage," she whispered lustfully to herself.
Meanwhile Ichigo was on his way back to Kisuke's with the foreign creature when he felt a shiver run down his spine. For reasons unknown to him at the time he felt like he should be afraid. Very, very afraid.
A/N: Finally done with that chapter. It might have been a little rushed but it is so painful trying to write all of the correct dialogue I had to leave some of it out it was getting really tiring. A little forshadowing on who may be in Ichigo's little harem. Honeslty for him it's going to more like Infinite Stratos with him oblivious to the girl's attraction. I probably won't give him Koneko. He only treated her gently because she is so small and young. As for his power… You may think he is OP but even in his manga he is. In Shikai he is at Super Devil level. In Bankai he is ten strongest beings in existence powerful. Kenpachi may also be at this level but I will have to see more to determine if he is or not. Current head captain is Super Devil level in bankai so is the entire Zero Division. All other captains High Level Ultimate Class in Bankai. Lieutenants are at high level high class to low level ultimate, depending and with exceptions, such as Renji. As for arrancar, Adult Nel and Grimmjow are high level ultimate level and Harribel is super devil level being the only Vasto Lorde class Arrancar left. The harems will be discussed more next chapter. If you have someone you want in the harems say so. Can't guarantee I will listen though. And as always please Read and Review.
